Taoiseach: Up to UK if it wants second Brexit referendum

Holding a second Brexit referendum is “entirely up to” Britain but securing a deal that protects the Irish border must be prioritised, the Taoiseach has said.

Speaking as the British Labour party today prepares to vote on keeping “all options on the table” on Brexit, including possibly campaigning for a new referendum, Mr Varadkar said it would not be a good idea to start “interfering” in the internal politics of another country.
